Mercantilism was in some sense an early form of capitalism, though there was considerable state control over foreign trade and there were usually, along with this, very high tariffs.
Laissez-faire refers to more traditional ideas of how capitalism should operate, little to no state interference, no monopolies, etc.
"Welfare capitalism" is a term that is sometimes used to refer to capitalist countries that have strong social welfare programs and do make some limited attempts to combat homelessness and extreme poverty. Examples of this today would be Sweden and Norway.
What these all have in common is that they are all basically capitalist, laissez-faire and welfare capitalism are essentially the same economically for the most part but have some starkly different social policies. Mercantilism does not have a great deal in common with them.
Democratic socialism is a term that can refer to two different things. It can sometimes be used as a synonym for social-democracy, or it can be used as a term to distinguish oneself from what people typically associate with what they think is communism.
Socialism refers to any political and economic philosophy or system that is not capitalist and emphasises community control over politics and the social ownership of the means of production.
There is no difference between this and the second description of what "democratic socialism" means. The first (synonym for social-democracy) description however, has little in common with socialism, it is essentially capitalist and has much in common with welfare capitalism.
It was illegal to do so
Welfare capitalism is system in which employees are granted benefits such as insurance, food, and other perks. The process began in the 1880s in the United States.
Socialism is a classless stateless society based on production for use, with no money or rulers. Welfarism means capitalism with a welfare state, intended to remove some of the worst features of a society based on inequality and exploitation.
Costa Rica is a mixed economy, with strong elements of capitalism and industry with state oversight but not direct control. There is also a welfare system.
With free economy capitalism people could very well become successful as well as selfish and ungiving. Government involvement would allow for better control over who receives welfare or not.
Fordism is associated with mass production methods that rely on assembly line techniques to increase efficiency and reduce costs in manufacturing processes. It also involves implementing standardized production procedures and specialization of labor to streamline production.

There has never been "pure capitalism" and the system has been tempered by other economic policies, most often welfare or direct state interventionism. However, the development capitalism with greater impurities has not been even or necessarily similar in different locations.
